Manis & Mocktails

Every now and then I have to implement my manis & mocktails only rule. Between Halloween, Thanksgiving and the upcoming Christmas holiday my brain is screaming, “Why?!” and my belly is aching. The sun is still shining here and it’s making it a lot harder to hibernate when you still have to turn on the a/c. I have will power like no other but when it comes to candied sweet potatoes I am beyond weak. So I trade in my unhealthy cravings for mocktails and since they only take a few minutes to create I spend my remaining time giving myself a manicure. This go around I did two *it was better than making a trip to the fridge*

Purple Reign by Pure Ice ~ Almost a muted shade of purple with tiny gold sparkles.

Added NYC Starry Silver Glitter over it just for fun♥

This shade is better than black. It has a hint of shimmer & covers well with just 2 coats.

Forgive the photo quality but I had to layer it with wet n’ wild’s “party of five glitters”

Hello

A Pennsylvania native, I moved to South Florida shortly after graduating high school and it kind of just stuck like very sticky glue. I met my husband couple of years later and we've resided in the Sunshine State since. We're both northerners at heart - he is from Toronto, Ontario - but I don't think we're quite prepared to deal with the freezing winters just yet. In 2015 we relocated to Central Florida and we're enjoying the pace of things so far - including some cooler weather. We have 3 terribly clever kiddos and about 20 fish, in a very large tank - because I'm not above saying we are not ready for anything that requires a leash or litter box!
I hope this blog inspires you to explore new places and things. Feel free to leave a comment or follow us on social media!
